I’m very enthusiastic about many things. But the thing that I enjoy the most is MMA (mixed martial arts.) I am very enthusiastic about MMA because I could watch it all day and never be bored, it is very complex and almost like a chess match with your own body. Every day I have to read about it every day and find out the latest news or else I feel as though my day isn’t complete. And when I’m not reading about it I’m learning about it through a firsthand experience, I have been doing things that are key in MMA such as boxing and wrestling. I have just gotten interested in it only for 6 months but as soon as I got wrapped up in it I couldn’t get enough. To me MMA is not just a sport it is a passion.

Stratements:
The speaker disliked walls
He wondered “Why do they make good neighbors?” (30) “It is another kind of outdoor game”
Every winter the wall falls down “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall”
Although the speaker does not directly say he dislikes walls, he does say “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,” and this statement can help the reader infer that he is part of the “something” He does say” do not need a wall” because the neighbor is “all pine” whereas he’s “all apple orchard”
The neighbor was willing to listen to the speaker’s opinion on walls.
No. The speaker states his opinion about the wall, the neighbor just says “ Good fences make good neighbors”
The speaker wants to put a notion in his neighbors head and force him to consider the question of the need for a fence.
The fence draws them together
Yes “I let my neighbor know beyond the hill; And on a day we meet to walk the line And set the wall between us once again”
Once a year both neighbors meet at the wall and repair it step by step. But mentions along the way they “set the wall between them once again.” Meaning that even though they meet at the wall talk which brings them closer, there’s still that boundary the wall lying between them.
The speaker thinks the neighbor is old-fashioned.
“He will not go behind his father’s saying. And he likes having thought of it so well. He says again, “Good fences make good neighbors” 45
The speaker infers the neighbor is old fashion by saying “He will not go behind his father’s saying “meaning that
They share the labor in rebuilding the wall
Yes “We wear our fingers rough with handling them.”
The speaker enjoys the sport of hunting.
Its winter time
No its not “But at spring mending-time we find them there.”
One of them has cows and that’s why they need a fence.
No because he says “Where there are cows? But hear there are no cows.”
The speaker feels that he and the neighbor are very different
